I've found that #16079 was never properly addressed (it still randomly
occurred after even after PR #16349), which later led to the issues
described in #16769 (nushell flickering due to too many flushes).
The crux of the fix is that this brings back the
_noFlushOnEnd
flagthat was removed in PR #15991. This is then combined with a change to
the cork API: An
uncork
onVtEngine
now only flushes if_Flush
got called while it was corked in the first place.
_noFlushOnEnd
prevents us from flushing in between two "unknown"VT sequences (like soft fonts or FTCS) which prevents them from being
corrupted. The corking prevents the remaining cases of flushing too
often. Long-term, a proper fix would be to pass through VT unmodified.
Closes #16769
